"You Don’t Need to Climb a Mountain to Reach Enlightenment” - KUNAL NAYYAR, one of our most popular guests of ALL TIME, is back! Feeling Fatigued? KUNAL is Here to Deal Out Some HOPE! Kunal helps us unravel the secrets to attaining inner peace and catalyzing global change in this transformative episode. From the power of ego surrender and "self-sacrifice" to his enlightening perspective on the purpose of pain, Kunal's journey through the Myth of Enlightenment and navigating feelings of aimlessness offers invaluable lessons for anyone seeking a more fulfilling and peaceful life. Kunal shares practical meditation tips with Mayim, his thoughts on finding love and compassion in altered states, his perspective on ancestral trauma, practical ways to detach from our thoughts and ego in order to live in harmony with others, and how we should decide which of our personal obstacles to tackle and which to find a way to live with. He also breaks down: - His struggle with being pigeon-holed into his TBBT character, Raj Koothrappali - Fatigue we feel from hyper-focusing on self-work - Why we should stop holding our stories so tightly - How workaholism can actually be a crutch - Why we should stop trying to live someone else's life - The Elusive Nature of Thought - Ways we can release "the Illusion of ourselves" - His spiritual connection to and the meditative process of acting PLUS @jonathancohenofficial opens up about his first experience with reiki.
